New Orleans Chef Melissa Araujo Stirs Her Soul at Alma Cafe

The Connected Table Live

Chef Melissa Araujo grew up in a large family in La Ceiba, Honduras, where her Sicilian mother and Latina grandmother were important culinary influences. At Alma Café in New Orleans’ Bywater neighborhood, Araujo prepares in her words "elevated Honduran cooking." Alma means “soul” in Spanish. And cooking is where Araujo found what stirs her soul, offering farm to table menus reflecting her heritage with a creative touch. Alma's kitchen staff are all immigrant women whom Araujo personally trains.
